Campbell's Soup executive called its products food for poor people', lawsuit alleges

Garza alleges he was fired in January after he raised concerns about comments made by Martin Bally, Campbell's vice-president of information technology including referring to one of the company's ingredients as bioengineered meat while going off on a racist tirade. The lawsuit recounts that Garza met with Bally in November 2024 to discuss his salary. However, Garza alleges, the meeting turned into an hour-long rant by Bally during which he disparaged the quality of Campbell's products and customers, made racist comments about Indian employees and admitted to coming to work while high on marijuana edibles.

Everyone Said My Employer Wouldn't Enforce Their Strange, Strict Policy. I Shouldn't Have Believed Them.

The organization had a strict and strange "no fraternization" policy. Some colleagues ignored it, and no one that I knew of faced consequences. We never did anything inappropriate or socialized outside of work. After the formal part of training was over, some job search assistance was ongoing with another individual. For a holiday gift, I gave all the trainers cookies. I also gave Barb a speaker I had won, since she enjoys music lots.
